'State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shaving Sets, of which the fOllOYVlIlglS a specification. I

This invention relates to improvements in shaving sets and particularly that type which is especially. adapted for travelers use.

An important object of my invention is to providea shaving set which combines the brush, soap, safety razor and blades in a compact container. i v

of the invention is to -pro= vide a; shaving set whereby'the brush may be inverted, when not in use and carried within the container.

Afurther object of'the invention is to provide a device of this character which is durable, inexpensive, and efficient forthe purpose intended. a

Other objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent during the course of the following description. i

In the accompanying drawingsforming a part of this specification and in which like numerals 'are employed to designate like parts throughout the same: 5

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the device in the closed position,

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same,

Figure 3 is a' horizontal section taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2,

Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line H of Figure 1,

Figure 5 illustrates the device with the brush in operative position and the container partly open,

Figure 6 is a horizontal sectional view taken=on the line 6-6 of Figure 5, and

Figure 7 is a detailed view of the soap and retaining member.

In the drawings, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 10 generally denotes the body of the container which is preferably metallic although other material may be employed, if desired,and is hexagonal in form. The upper portionof the container is substantially conical in form as at 11, one/half of said conical exten sion being free to swing about a huge; 12 which is suitably secured to the container.

'llriangular openings li-lar e formed inthe upper portion of the container to permit airw to gain'access therein. A collar for 'ned'of semi-circular bands 14: and 15 is secured to the HPP GI POIUQH'O'f the container, the collar 15 having angular promot ons formed at its extremities for engaging a pinlfi which iscarriedbya brush. As it is desirable to separate the upper portion or the container from the lower, 1 have provided a horizontal partition 17, said partition having aitubular compartment 18 secured thereto.

The bottom. ofthecontamer'is enclosed i a.

by a disk 19 which has an'externallythreaded collar 20 secured thereto and adapted in shape and commonly employed for this purpose.

engage suitable threads formed on thelower A portion of the tubular compartment 18. The: threaded collar 20 also serves as. retaining meansfor the soap 21, which is cylindrical A plurality of vertical partitions v 22 are employedto strengthen the-device and divide the container into side;.-,comp a1-*t ments 23 which may be utilized. forthe purpose of storing blades 2 l and, other paraphernaliav l A shavingbrushgenerally: denoted the numeral 25 has a cylindrical shank 26 preferably constructed of j rubber inorder to firmly, retain. the ,bristles 27. and a semie .sphericalfcap 28 adapted-to slightly over lap the shank 26'and'enga-gejthe bands 14: and 15. i f In use, to open the container 'andin'veift the brush member in order to apply lather to the face, the collar 15 is disengaged from f i the pin 16' and the. upper hinged section swungg'outwardly, the brushvbeing then :in}

verted and-the hinged section 'once' more returned tothe closed position, thereby securely retaining the brush ready for cp I The bottom disk 20 is then disen' eration.

gaged from the container and the soap made. 1

ready for use. p After the user operation,

has completed the shaving the soap is once more. inserted within this compartment and the brush inverted and i secured within the container,m whereit may thoroughly dry out by meansof air circulating through, the openings'13. It is to be understood that theform of my invention'herewith shown and described is to be taken asthe preferred example of the 1 same, and that various changesin the shape,

s1ze,'and arrangement of parts may be'resorted to, without departing from the spirit of the invention, or the scope of the subjoined claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim: p

l. A device of the character described comprising a hexagon-shaped container, the upper portion of the container being tapered and having a plurality ofopenings therein, the lower portion of the container being divided into a plurality of compartments, onehalf of the upper portion of the container being hingedly connected to the lower portion, a pair of semi-circular bands secured to being hingedly connected to the lower por tion of the container, a horizontal partition formed within the container separating the upper and lower portions thereof, a tubular partition formed in thecentral portion of the container, the lower portion of said tubular partition having screw threads formed therein, a plurality of vertical partitions forming a plurality of compartments in the container, a pair of semi-circular bands secured to the upper portion of the container said bands having apertures formed near the extremities thereof, a shaving brush, a pin secured to the shank of said shaving brush, the pin being adapted to engage the openings formed in the bands and retainthe brush in an upward or downward position, a disk, a threaded collar formed on the upper portion of the disk, the threaded collar adapted to retain the soap therein, and the threaded collar also being adapted to engage the threads on the lower portion of the tubular compartment and retain the disk on the lower portion of the container.

3. A device of the character described comprising a hexagonal container, theupper portion of the container being tapered inwardly and having a plurality of openings therein, one-half of the upper portion-of the container being hingedly connected to the lower portion, a hinge for securing the upper portion to the lower portion of the container, a pair of semi-circular bands having apertures through their extremities secured to the upper portion of the container, a shaving brush, a pin carriedby said brush adapted to engage in the apertures in said circular bandsra horizontal partition formed in the container to separate same into upper F and lower portions, a tubular vertical partition formed in the center otthe lower portion of the container, a plurality of vertical partitions formed in the lower portion of thecontainer and dividing same into a plurality of compartments, a circular plate, a threaded collar formed on the upper portion of the circular plate, means whereby a bar ofshaving soap may be retained in the threaded collar, and means for connecting the circular plate to the bottom of the container.

In testimony whereof, I have aflixed my signature in the presenceof two Witnesses.
